To use Tunnelblick you need access to a VPN server — your computer is one end of the tunnel and the VPN server is the other end.

The Tunnelblick project does not provide access to VPN servers — we are not 'VPN service providers'
— we only create the free software that many VPN service providers recommend or provide to their clients.

There are several ways to get access to a VPN server:

  • Your employer may provide a VPN server so you can work from home or the road securely.
  • You can set up your own VPN server at home, and use it to access your home network and the Internet securely when at a remote location. The VPN server could be a program running on a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer, or on your home router.
  • You can get (free or for a fee) access to a VPN server by using a VPN service provider.

Employer-provided VPN Servers

Your employer should supply you with an OpenVPN configuration file (.ovpn or .conf file), along with the appropriate certificate and key files, or with a Tunnelblick VPN Configuration (.tblk), which includes the certificate and key files within it.

Follow the instructions from your employer or in Installing Tunnelblick to install Tunnelblick and configurations.

Set Up Your Own VPN Server

This is more complicated. It involves creating your own OpenVPN configuration file and creating your own certificate and key files for encryption. There are tutorials about setting up OpenVPN servers — try searching the Internet for 'set up openvpn server'. Tunnelblick includes 'easy-rsa' to help you with creating certificate and key files; there is an 'Open easy-rsa in Terminal' button on the Utilities panel. Instructions on using easy-rsa to create encryption files are available in the OpenVPN FAQ.

If you want to set up a computer to act solely as a router/bridge/firewall, consider ZeroShell. Untangle has a free VPN component.

If you have a router running DD-WRT, you can use OpenVPN on DD-RT. There is a tutorial.

If you want to run an high-performance OpenVPN server 'in the cloud', see Create a Private OpenVPN Service with AWS Client VPN Endpoint [github.com].

If you want to run an OpenVPN server 'in the cloud' which also does ad blocking, take a look at the instructions at Pi-Hole and PiVPN on Google Compute Engine Free Tier with Full Tunnel and Split Tunnel OpenVPN Configurations. (Note that the instructions download and install pi-hole and piVPN by piping from curl to bash. A better practice is to download the install scripts, examine them for problems, and then run the already-examined scripts.)

VPN Service Providers

Another way to get access to a VPN server is to use a VPN service provider, an organization that makes its VPN servers available (free or for a fee). Some provide you with a customized, and possibly renamed, version of Tunnelblick.

Important: See The Future of Tun and Tap VPNs on macOS for information about changes to future versions of macOS.

If you have an M1 Mac, also see Tunnelblick and Apple Silicon.

Mtvr mk23 technical manual. If you are using macOS Big Sur, you should use the latest beta version of Tunnelblick. You should allow Tunnelblick to automatically check for updates on the 'Preferences' panel of Tunnelblick's 'VPN Details' window. Be sure to put a check in 'Check for updates to beta versions'.

The following is the current status of issues that have been seen using Tunnelblick on macOS Big Sur.

To report an issue, please follow the instructions at Tunnelblick Issues. Quicktime 10 for mac convert from 4 3 to 16 9 aspect ratio.

FIXED in Tunnelblick 3.8.5beta03: Tunnelblick's Tun and Tap system extensions do not load.

If your configuration requires a Tun or Tap system extension, connecting to your VPN will fail if an appropriate system extension is not installed.

  • If you are using a Tun VPN, you can — and should — modify your OpenVPN configuration file so it will work without the 'Tun' system extension. See Errors Loading System Extensions for instructions.
  • If you are using a Tap VPN, your configuration requires a Tap system extension.

A future version of macOS will not allow the use of Tunnelblick's system extensions. See The Future of Tun and Tap VPNs on macOS. How to change font of line numbering for word for mac.

See Installing System Extensions for detailed instructions on installing Tunnelblick's system extensions.

FIXED in Tunnelblick 3.8.5beta03: Tunnelblick disables loading of Tun and Tap system extensions.

When running on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 or later, some versions of Tunnelblick force the settings on Tunnelblick's 'Advanced' settings window to 'never load' system extensions.

WON'T FIX: Sidecar does not work when a VPN is connected using Tunnelblick's default for a configuration.

(This issue is not specific to Big Sur. It is present in all versions of Sidecar.)

Sidecar does not work if IPv6 is disabled. By default, Tunnelblick disables IPv6 while a VPN is connected. This is done to prevent information leaks in common VPN setups (see A Glance through the VPN Looking Glass: IPv6 Leakage and DNS Hijacking in Commercial VPN clients).

To fix this problem:

  1. Verify with your VPN service provider that no information is leaked if IPv6 traffic is allowed. If you cannot confirm that, you should not proceed and you will not be able to use Sidecar when your VPN is connected.
  2. Launch Tunnelblick.
  3. Click the Tunnelblick icon in the menu bar and then click 'VPN Details'.
  4. Click on the large 'Configurations' button at the top of the window.
  5. Select the configuration(s) you wish to modify.
  6. Remove the check from 'Disable IPv6 unless the server is accessed via IPv6'.
